All,
I happened to notice that one of my machines that should be basically idle is showing about 20 packets a second coming in and out.
This server is running samba and connected to a small network, but the volume is to small and slow to be a user interacting with the share.
And I connected in via ssh to initiate the command, but I *assume* that the below is not all due to my ssh section. (ie. I hope am not just seeing the packets generated by me watching. Ooh, spooky physics time.)

And it continues like that for a long time. I've spot checked at various times since I noticed this yesterday.

I think you need to read up on windows networking in the samba docs. There is usually a fair of 'whos there' <-> 'i am here' chat in the background, as well a the browser master election stuff. A windows network is never completely idle unless something got broken (and then you could be in real trouble). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
